What to do with Ded minipets?

Ded minipets filled up a character's whole bag. Wasting a character slot. I only have 11 character slots and that means a lot.

I wonder how people treat their ded minipets. Do you trash them? Throw them away is like throwing hundreds of k and that makes me feels bad. But I doubt anyone is buying them.

So, tell me what you do with your ded minis

Delete them if worth nothing. Sell them if they are.

I keep a few for random reasons

Wallow - Just because we use to pick on Trub about her love for Wallows {SMS guild}

Elf - Just because Elves are cool.

Mini Pig - Was a gift

High End minis - Take less space then storing ecto/armbraces

Gotta catch em all am afraid I am a bit of a hoarder Dumping seems wasteful selling takes too much time so they sit on my characters.

I wish they had a place in the menagerie I could dump them.

Keep the ones I like, give away cheap ones in Ascalon, sell any worth more than 40k when unded.

I keep them all. You never know if they may ever be used for something else, like giving them to a hat maker and getting the unlocked like hats or something like that.

All I can do is wish, and it will probably never happen, and it's becoming alarming the number of storage tabs I have to use for them. Fortunately, I don't really have anything else to store other than trophies, dyes and miniatures, since all of my characters are fully equipped, and their heroes runed.

Do you like it? Keep it. Don't like it give it away. Is it rare? Try selling it. Even getting a k or 2 out of a dedicated purple/gold/green mini is better than letting it go to waste. If you are part of a large guild give some of the dedicated ones away to new members and better yet people who are completely new to GW. Showing kindness in the community is the best way to bring new players in and keep new players playing.

Was just glowering at two mules loaded with ded minis this morning. Was going to dispose of them, but too much like work. Guess mine will hang around for no good reason.

I chuck them. I love chucking stuff. I think I'm going to go to my stash and merch some useless rares right now.

I horde all mine on one of my characters. Once upon a time he was used for PvE, but these days he’s dedicated to PvP anyway and hence doesn’t need the bag space. Besides, there is something nice about pressing F9 and seeing a mobile menagerie pop up.

What they should do is use the Hall of Monuments as a storage place, once dedicated, they could be deleted, and for 10 Gold, returned to player inventory, just like the festival hat NPC. I agree, I have way too much space wasted holding on to them, something should be done.

I have a whole character dedicated to storing minipets. What can I say I'm a packrat.

Packrat em, or give em to new players in Ascalon. Really all you can do, no one really buys em if they're dedicated.

It could be a solution for such minis to just be made untradable or just allow HoM to have a special storage place (unfortunately at this point either solution won't happen anyway).
Still would be good not having 2 chars loaded with white trash minis that i won't delete just because i'm a sucker for completed sets (though i won't ever have the money to get the specially rare ones...).

I hope Anet will introduce something for them. Ded minis especially white ones are so useless unless you have some love towards a couple of them.
Or they intended to keep it this way because they want someone like me to buy more character slot!! It's conspiracy!

I always go to Ascalon City and give away my surplus dedicated minipets to beginners. "surplus" means: minipet-mule is full and just got a non-dedicated version of that mini.

I'd like to have a /mini command, and a list of all minipets you have dedicated on your HOM account appears like this:
  • Koss
  • Mini Pig
  • Moa Bird
  • Gwen
  • etc
  • etc

Then you click on one and that mini is summoned and appears next to you.

This i like. /mini Moa Bird would be a good way to display to people the minis you have paid/hunted for without clogging up storage. And prevent any issues with reselling, ded mini market is not such a big part of in game eco, so if it's removed entirely there shouldn't be too much impact.

No one would buy it for that much, if at all. They'd probably be made untradeable anyway if HoM could be used as storage.

Edit: Oops, forgot quote and beaten anyway.

Give away the ones I don't care for and keep the interesting ones for whenever.

After I dedicated most of mine I left the whites on the ground right there in the HoM. I still save the colored ones, not sure why I keep the grapes though.

I keep the ones I enjoy (moa chick, celestial tiger), and give the rest to new people in ascalon who don't care if they're dedicated. They just have fun with them.

There's no reason to keep them after dedication unless they are worth something sentimental or armbraces, delete delete delete.

I keep one of each mini I get my hands on. I give away doubles to people in my guild (after my wife got her pick :P ) or i trade them for anything I haven't got yet.
I store them in 2 Xunlai tabs, and 2 more tabs on my secondary account. And my favourites go along with my characters (1 or 2 each).

Well, really, they are kind of useless, so if you are concerned with saving inventory space, just sell them (especially, of course, any duplicates).
Personally, I use one of my least often used characters as a storage mule for minis. It has only one open slot left.

I have about 30 chars over 3 accounts. My main acc is 6 y/o and the other 2 5+ y/o so i've had more than my fair share of em over the years. Any duplicates go to guildies for free. I then have 1 mini on each char, value is not of importance to me, i try to match a mini that goes with the look of my char. The rest of the dedicated minis go in the bin, irrespective of value (i've never been interested in the gw trade system anyway, better things to do with my time)

Even the 5th years no one wants. Dedicated pets are worthless unless they're like Candysmith Marley or something.
